Hi All,
    There are 2  relays in the box on top of the coil. One ( digifant relay)   supplies power to the ecu, o2 heater, iscu,
injectors.  It is energized by one of the contacts on the ignitions switch. The other relay is the fuel pump relay. It supplies
power to the fuel pump and is energized by the ecu when in start mode or when there are hall pulses.
    The power steering high pressure hose has a pressure switch that makes contact when a heavy load is put on the pump and it
signals the iscu (idle stabilizer control unit )  so it can increase idle rpm.
    Power supplied to these relays is not fused. A short  in any of the above circuits will warm up your wiring in a hurry.

Darrell
